Stuffing is a delicious side dish, whether served for the holidays or an everyday dinner. When you're short on cooking time, you can cook stuffing in the crock pot. Crock pot cooking allows you the convenience of doing other activities as your food cooks. In addition to being a time-saver, crock pots contain their heat so a crock pot won't heat up the kitchen on a hot day.

Step 1

Grease the inside of the crock pot by rubbing a stick of margarine around the sides and bottom. Use just enough margarine to coat the sides and bottom of the crock pot so the stuffing doesn't stick and burn.

Step 5

Put the lid on the crock pot. Slow cook for two hours on high or three to four hours on low. This recipe serves 10 people.

Tip

Leave bread out on the counter for a few days to dry or place in an oven, heated to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, and allow the bread to dry out in the oven for 30 minutes.

Add one chopped apple to the stuffing or one can drained and chopped oysters.

Warning

Remove the lid from the crock pot carefully so as to not be burned by steam.
